Suggested Citation USFWS. 2020. Species Status Assessment for the Pacific Sheath Tailed Bat (Emballonura semicaudata semicaudata). April 2020 (Version 1.1). U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office, Honolulu, HI. 57 pp. Primary Authors Version 1.1 of this document was prepared by Mari Reeves, Fred Amidon, and James Kwon of the Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office, Honolulu, Hawaii. Preparation and review was conducted by Gregory Koob, Megan Laut, and Stephen E. Miller of the Pacific Islands Fish and Wildlife Office. Acknowledgements We thank the following individuals for their contribution to this work: Marcos Gorresen, Adam Miles, Jorge Palmeirim, Dave Waldien, Dick Watling, and Gary Wiles. ii Executive Summary This Species Report uses the best available scientific and commercial information to assess the status of the semicaudata subspecies of the Pacific sheath-tailed bat, Emballonura semicaudata semicaudata. This subspecies is found in southern Polynesia, eastern Melanesia, and Micronesia. Three additional subspecies of E. semicaudata (E.s. rotensis, E.s. palauensis, and E.s. sulcata) are not discussed here unless they are used to support assumptions about E.s. semicaudata, or to fill in data gaps in this analysis. The Pacific sheath-tailed bat is an Old-World bat in the family Emballonuridae, and is found in parts of Polynesia, eastern Melanesia, and Micronesia. It is the only insectivorous bat recorded from much of this area.

  • Pacific Study (Focusing on Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu
    1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1.1 Hazard exposure 1.1. Pacific island countries (PICs) are vulnerable to a broad range of natural disasters stemming from hydro-meteorological (such as cyclones, droughts, landslide and floods) and geo-physical hazards (volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis). In any given year, it is likely that Fiji, Tonga and Vanuatu are either hit by, or recovering from, a major natural disaster. 1.2. The impact of natural disasters is estimated by the Pacific Catastrophe Risk Assessment and Financing Initiative as equivalent to an annualized loss of 6.6% of GDP in Vanuatu, and 4.3% in Tonga. For Fiji, the average asset losses due to tropical cyclones and floods are estimated at more than 5%. 1.3. In 2014, Tropical Cyclone (TC) Ian caused damage equivalent to 11% to Tonga's GDP. It was followed in 2018 by damage close to 38% of GDP from TC Gita. In 2015, category five TC Pam displaced 25% of Vanuatu's population and provoked damage estimated at 64% of GDP. In Fiji, Tropical Cyclone Winston affected 62% of the population and wrought damage amounting to 31% of GDP, only some three and a half years after the passage of Tropical Cyclone Evan. 1.4. Vanuatu and Tonga rank number one and two in global indices of natural disaster risk. Seismic hazard is an ever-present danger for both, together with secondary risks arising from tsunamis and landslides. Some 240 earthquakes, ranging in magnitude between 3.3 and 7.1 on the Richter Scale, struck Vanuatu and its surrounding region in the first ten months of 2018.

  • Cyclone Winston Response and Recovery Project in Fiji Project
    UNITED NATIONS DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME PROJECT DOCUMENT [Country: Fiji] Project Title: Cyclone Winston Response and Recovery project in Fiji Project Number: 00094807 Implementing Partner: UNDP (Direct Implementation) Start Date: 17 Mar 2016 End Date: 31 Mar 2017 PAC Meeting date: Brief Description On 20 and 21 February 2016 Category 5 Severe Tropical Cyclone (TC) Winston cut a path of destruction across Fiji’s islands blowing off roofs, bringing down trees and power lines, and flooding rivers. Up to 350,000 people (170,000 female and 180,000 male) have been affected by the cyclone, 40% of Fiji’s population. The Government estimates the cost of damage will top FJD1 billion (USD500 million). UNDP, in coordination with the Government and other partners, is assisting the early recovery with a strong focus on transition to the recovery process that lays a foundation for inclusive and sustainable development. From the preliminary assessments undertaken in various sectors, it is known that infrastructure in islands are damaged, at least 24,000 houses are partially or fully destroyed. Damages to agriculture has been estimated at around USD57 million with 100% of crops destroyed in the worst affected areas. It is expected that the Fiji Government will conduct a PDNA which will assess the medium to long-term recovery needs and inform a national recovery plan/framework. UNDP will support the government to conduct the assessment and develop the recovery plan/framework and assist, if requested by the Government with the subsequent implementation. Based on availability of funds, the current project document will be revised to include long term recovery needs that will be identified through the PDNA.

  • Tropical Cyclone Ian Response Plan
    Tropical Cyclone Ian Response Plan This Response Plan was developed by the Government of the Kingdom of Tonga and humanitarian and development partners, following Tropical Cyclone Ian which struck Ha’apai Islands, in central Tonga on 11 January 2014. It has a three months’ timeframe and aims to facilitate coordination of the humanitarian response and strengthen early recovery planning by documenting cluster plans and identifying gaps and requirements. The Response Plan is meant to be a concise response strategy to address acute needs based on available information and reasonable inference. The Plan outlines roles and responsibilities, specific cluster/sector response plans and activities, and when possible funding requirements. Response plans and activities can be revised as more information emerges in view of the haste in which this first edition has been consolidated.
